I love the way many of the old fashion plate figures work with the vintage Ackermann backgrounds. It makes creating scenes so much fun and yes I thought this one had a serene look to it too.

Hello, Always sooooooo gorgeous!!! You respect the state of original prints for your creations, even when you vary the colors, and it's so good. Il like so much the litlle pastel ladies! Many many many thanks! I think the original images have so much charm in their original and historical color schemes; however I can't resist creating my own versions so I can put a little of me into them and bring them into the 21 century.

It's also interesting to note that occasionally you come across vintage prints that were reprinted several times over the years; and the new publisher altered the colors of the clothing to suite their new audience. So basically I'm continuing a long standing tradition of altering the color combination of an ensemble to better suite the time in which it will be viewed.

Today I have a small selection of fashion plate images from the publication. Based on the information I have been able to find this publication ran from and I've been fortunate enough to acquire a variety of fashion images from all the years it was produced.

My previous post showed a few of the fashions and several "Hat Fashions" from this publication can be seen - HERE they start about a quarter of the way down the post.
